I'm feeling well and my mom is okay too, but just as a precaution, we both take steam regularly at night. We usually add kalonji to boiling hot water before taking steam. I'm just a bit concerned and want to know if it's safe for us to keep doing this regularly?

I'm really worried about my condition. I've been dealing with typhoid for the last three months and was on monocef injections. Now, I'm constantly getting a low-grade fever between 99 and 100, especially after even a small amount of exertion, though it gets better with rest. I was just told I have a vitamin D deficiency with a level of 7.3 from the CLIA method, and my blood pressure seems low too. I'm not currently taking any medication. What could be causing all of this, and what should I do next?
